FOOTBALL If Edison’s football record continues to im- prove as it has the past four years, it will not be long before Edison will have a champion- ship team. The record is better each year than the preceding year of the first four years of Edison’s football history. Last year’s five and five record was improved by this year’s five wins and four losses. 1 his year, also, saw a change of head foot- ball coach and the addition of an assistant coach. Coach Chester E. Sanders replaced Coach Al- bert 1 horn as head coach, and James Alexan- der became the assistant coach. They are to he commended for the fine job they have done their first year in Edison. East Gary placed one man on the first team of the All-Conference Team this year as Frank Arndt was chosen to fill the right end position. Also, Roland Moore made the second team backfield, and Randall Riley, Roland Gregory, and Bill Metz received honorable mention. September 8 — Knox: The first athletic con- test of the season was won by the Eagles as they ground out a 7-0 victory over Knox. Both teams were held scoreless until the last quarter with the hall seesawing hack and forth across the mid-field line. The only touchdown of the game came in the last quarter when Hat- field threw a short pass to Krupchak in the end zone. The extra point was made by Krup- chak on a line plunge. September 15 — Hobart: One of the finest games of the season was played by the Eagles against their traditional rival, Hobart. East Gary played for the most part a hard, line- plunging game with short gains through the middle being the order of the day. Roland Moore made the only touchdown for the Eagles. The extra point was no good. Fine defensive play showed throughout the game with Edison letting up only a few times ; how- ever, each time Hobart was quick to take ad- vantage and made two touchdowns and a 14-6 victory. September 22 — Wirt: Edison had little trouble as she subdued Wirt 26-13. Touch- downs were made by Edison in all four quar- ters. Frank Arndt caught two long passes for touchdowns in the first half. He, also, caught The 1951 Edisonian 27
